Finally! I have figured out what is wrong with me and I am not suffering alone! For almost 20 years I have been having flare ups. First on my feet and now my hands. My hands get so bad I can't make a fist. This condition lasts for up to six months at times. No one understands the pain and how excruciating it is. I have spent many, many days and nights sitting and crying because I am in such pain. I am so relieved to have found others who are suffering from Dyshidrosis especially since I have always thought I was suffering alone.

Thanks for sharing your story, Holly! I'm sorry you've been dealing with this for so long. That's interesting what you wrote about moisturizing not helping very much. Everyone's skin is different and what works for one may not work for another.
